JACKSON,
MI – Every other week, Rene Wheaton visits a Jackson-area eatery in
search of good deals for those looking to dine out without breaking
their budget:

Restaurant: Amanati’s Frosty Boy

Address: 1201 Cooper St., Jackson

Phone: 517-784-8611

Hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Hours are extended to 10 p.m. once school gets out.

What we ate:
In a case where my eyes were bigger than my stomach, I ordered two hot
dogs, two scoops of honey nut cinnamon ice cream and a Diet Pepsi. I
could have gotten by with just one scoop of ice cream, but since Frosty
Boy’s honey nut cinnamon is my favorite ice cream ever, I muddled
through all of it.

The cost: My hot dogs were two for $1.50, the ice cream was $3.50 and the drink was 99 cents. So, my lunch was $5.99.

Other good deals:
Frosty Boy has several food items on its menus, from Polish dogs to
nachos. Those items range from 80 cents for a hot dog to $2.45 for a
stacked ham and cheese.

Tasty tidbits: The real reason I
go to Frosty Boy is the ice cream. Prices for a sweet treat range from
$1.65 for a baby cone to $5.45 for a hot fudge pecan royal. If you don’t
indulge in ice cream there is frozen yogurt available, too.
